Hobie Maiden Voyage!!!
 
Un-B-Leivable!!! Amazing!! Worth every penny I paid for it!!! First time out today (after it has been sitting in my yard for almost 3 weeks while I worked on our bathroom) took it to a favorite freshwater pond and it was everything I hoped it would be!!! Wind in my face and a slight chop and it went through it effortlessly! Stability is amazing in the Pro Angler, just amazing! Yes I did catch my first Kayak fish....it was a pickeral on one of my1 oz. Rainbow Trout "Prey" swimmers......had a nice smash from a bass too!! I was so busy prowling the pond I found myself almost forgetting to fish!!! Can't wait to hit the saltwater in it!! Sorry no pics.....I was by myself so nobody to take em'!!!

ProfessorM 07-29-2009 08:07 AM

nice Larry. Looks to be a very heavy duty machine. I was in that exact spot on Saturday. We got skunked.

NE-Stripes 07-29-2009 08:16 AM

Man if I didn,t already have a revo I would be all over that looks super stable. Nice ride you are gona love fishing in a hobie.

Offshore24 07-29-2009 08:45 AM

Nice boat larry. I'd ask you to bring it to Maine, but there's no fish'n here.

bassackward 07-29-2009 12:29 PM

I love my outback and I'm sure now that you let the family try it, you will have to share it because everyone I let try mine has loved it as well. Those new ones are awesome and worth every penny.

BTW, have you tried to paddle it? I was wondering how they paddle because you never know when you may need to.

Best of luck Larry.

Rockport24 07-29-2009 01:59 PM

Nice pics Larry!

now how do you get it up that high on the truck? I know that thing is kind heavy.... do you just muscle it up there or what?

I'm very jealous, Larry! Went fishing in a kayak for the first time with my gf's cousin a few weeks ago and the wind was blowing so hard it made it a pain while there was a hobie running circles around the bay :smash:
